The fellow polycythemic twin was managed with intrauterine venesection and developed only mild ROP. Thus, despite intrauterine improvement of the twins' hemodynamic conditions, the risk of developing severe ROP remained in the donor twin.Copyright © 2017 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaapos.2016.11.026 | PubMed URL: | 28238729 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=28238729] | ISSN: | 1091-8531 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/38648 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
